Is there any program that'll automatically check Ebay for things on my want list?

Say I have a list of 100 or so albums that I've been looking for. There should be some way of keeping an eye out for them on Ebay without having to do this manually, right?

Can't ebay itself do this? Sorry I don't know exactly how, but I think it can.

there are preferences for having search hits emailed to you daily. xpost

I'm not talking about things that I've already added to my watch list. I want something that'll alert me the second something gets listed online. I'll look around a bit more within Ebay though.

I think that feature is there. Look under the Favorites tab on your My E-bay page. Look at My Favorite Searches.

Found it. Thanks.

No problem. I wouldn't have known about it either if this thread hadn't prompted me to look for it.

I used to regularly try "King Truman" after the first time, a 12" was listed as "Completed, no bids" for £3 or some such rid. little price...

What's the fuss about having it emailed to you the second it's listed when you'll have at least a week to make bids on it?

No doubt you'd like to find something that'll take a shit for you too.
